this was a bummer...

Also for game variants not being used, yeah, sure, CBM (and maybe vanilla on this forum?) are dominant, but there is at least one Cataclysm and one Randomocalypse game up on this very forum and one Cataclysm game on the other one. There are also other games, some of which I'm pretty sure run one of the two mods. Sure though, same strategies will apply (especially in Cataclysm) in the endgame, but early and mid game are wildly different in both of those.

Now I need to get utterly frustrated with my current coding project so I can get the motivation to finish the sprite-generating NationGen for even more interesting random nations. Current iteration generates some pretty interesting results (for example black human samurais, oriental lizardmen (see my avatar!), cavalry with battleaxes and naked tower shield crossbowmen) along with stuff that's pretty much the same that's in the game already. It just lacks proper mage and sacred generation (with sacreds especially being potentially fairly wild) and needs varying rewrites in other areas. Sadly developing Dominions 3 content isn't very rewarding.
